Sanna Nielsen was the big hope for Sweden as she represented her country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen with the song "Undo". She did very well and ended on a fantastic 3rd place. Recently she released a new single called "Inte Ok" and here you can see her live performance on Swedish TV 4.

"Inte Ok"

***Lyrics***

Era ord som bränner, och sårar.

Ser mej springa hemåt, i tårar.

Minns jag önska så att ni inte såg mej alls.

Blundar och försvinner, tills jag vågar.

Nej, det är inte okej för mej.

Måste få finnas till, va precis som ja vill.

Nej, det är inte okej för mej.

Känna när hjärtat dör, skriker fast ingen hör.

Allt ni ville var att se mej svag,

Men ni visste inte vem jag var.

Jag är starkare.

Nej, det är inte okej för mej.

Läser ord som bränner, som plågar.

Bakom skärmar gömda, i tårar.

Snälla börja se oss precis som dom vi är.

Vi ska börja leva, för vi vågar.

Nej, det är inte okej för mej.

Måste få finnas till, va precis som ja vill.

Nej, det är inte okej för mej.

Känna när hjärtat dör, skriker fast ingen hör.

Allt ni ville var att se mej svag,

Men ni visste inte vem jag var.

Jag är starkare.

Nej, det är inte okej för mej.

Ni ville se mej svag, men jag blev starkare.

Ni ville se mej svag, men jag blev starkare.

Nej, det är inte okej för mej.

Måste få finnas till, va precis som ja vill.

Nej, det är inte okej för mej.

Känna när hjärtat dör, skriker fast ingen hör.

Allt ni ville var att se mej svag,

Men ni visste inte vem jag var.

Jag är starkare.

Nej, det är inte okej för mej.

Ni ville se mej svag, men jag blev starkare.

For this special anniversary the German singer produced a special album with Eurovision winning songs, translated to German. Nicole presented already one of the songs earlier this year in the German preselection "Unser Song 2017" - the song was the winner for Austria in 1966 sung by Udo Jürgens.

Nicole recorded a complete album with her favorite Eurovision winners. The album "12 Punkte" (Engl. "12 Points") includes 13 songs. You can hear also the english version of "Waterloo", a duet with German comedian Hape Kerkeling ("Insieme") and of course the duet with the Danish winner Olsen Brothers.
